October+1977+album+cover+mock-up

In October 1977 Springsteen was four months into recording his fourth album, what would become //Darkness On The Edge Of Town//. Around this time Columbia Records' art department created concept album artwork, utilising photographs taken by Eric Meola. The album was titled //Badlands//, but was later changed because Bill Chinnock released his own album with that title in early 1978.





"Independence Day" was later released on //The River//. "Candy's Room" was still under the work-in-progress title "Candy's Boy". "Don't Look Back" was cut from the album late on, replaced with "Darkness On The Edge Of Town".
